It is in a quiet setting, rural Dorset is all around, coast about 45mins. There are great eating places in the vicinity & Paul has good recommendations. He is a very good host, booking our first night's table. Loved the rustic charm of the pubs. The Quiet Woman is a real find.

The coastal town has really upgraded it restaurants and its quaint streets make a delightful place to visit. It is central for Dorset visits and close to Devon. Abbotsbury and West Bay ( Broadchurch filming) are musts to visit. Eat at the French Lieutenant and both Italian restaurants as they are reasonably priced but above average food.

An old Dorset market town which has sensibly resisted the egregious efforts of developers. There are some good restaurants and some lovely old buildings.but not much entertainment if you aren't visiting friends. The Green Man was my pub of choice.

Cracking place to go off season.
Cracking place to go off season. A bit too busy for me in mid summer. Well placed for nearby visits to nearby Wimborne Minster, The Purbeck Hills and Corfu Catle, Badbury Rings and Kingston Lacey House, a trip across the chain ferry at Sandbanks to the best beach in Dorset at Studland, (It is a naturist beach further down but your on holiday so when in Rome......). Portsmouth (HMS Victory and the Mary R) are a day trip away.The New Forest, Bovington Tank Museum, Monkey World. The list is only limited by the type of holiday you want. Bournemouth as a holiday centre allows access to it all.

Loved the beautiful architecture in the town, the range of shops, ease of access, central location for the Badger Brewery and Royal Signals Museum. Stayed here after walking the Lawrence Trail and visiting Bovington Tank Museum - the Crown Hotel was the perfect end to a perfect day. I'd now stay here and commute to any attraction in Dorset and the surrounding counties. The only negative thing was a couple of guys whose fight spilled out of a pub and into the street - but you can get that anywhere, and the Police appeared and dealt with the matter so quickly it was almost a blink and miss it incident. Would definitely recommend the food at The Crown Hotel and will look forward to going back and exploring Blandford further.

Bridport is central to some great accesses to the coast, beaches and towns in Dorset. One of our favourite places is Westbay with its long beach in front of the cliffs ideal for walking your dogs. Westbay has plenty of cafes to enjoy cups of tea, the fish and chip shop opposite the Caravan park is a real joy. The Hunters Lodge out on the A35, about 15/20 minutes away from Bridport is worth a visit. Also the Hive café on Hive Beach is also good if you fancy seafood dishes.

Everything about the stay was perfect for our needs. The apartment was comfortable, clean and had all the facilities we needed.

Free parking was a plus.

We were upgraded by a charming receptionist and felt very welcomed. The bedroom had been decorated beautifully for an anniversary - of survival and cure from cancer. We have sentimental memories of Sandbanks having brought up our 3 children in Dorset and have entertained them in this historic hotel for some days in the early part of this millennium after they’d fled the nest.
